"With these new gimbals a small UAV or manned aircraft can now obtain actionable imagery from greater distances, significantly expanding its value and operational envelope," said Doug Johnson, director of Marketing, Cloud Cap Technology, "while achieving the same pixels on target as a larger and more expensive system, at a much lower cost of operation."

The TASE400DXR offers .35 degree FOV (Field of View) or NIIRS 9 (National Image Interpretability Rating) with a high definition camera and large catadioptric lens giving it the daylight equivalent of 15 inch gimbals that can weigh 100 lbs. or more. Similarly the TASE400LRS offers both day and night imagery and with the addition of the Long Range Spotter camera can provide high definition daylight imagery down to a 1.1 degree FOV or NIIRS 7.5 giving the TASE400LRS almost the same capability in day and night as a much larger and heavier 10 inch gimbal.

Cloud Cap Technology TASE gimbals offer payload solutions where size weight and power (SWaP) are at a premium. The TASE400 family of 7 inch 8 lb. gimbals is available in eight different configurations providing a payload solution that is easily swappable to meet the requirements of any mission profile.
